Moisture? Is the warmer air moving from tropical south aloft into stratosphere? Precipitation a massive issue? Blizzard before Blazzar? Are people still without power in storm struck areas? Homeless need to head in a particular direction and shelters readied?Preps on the D.L. due to media propaganda and such; may indicate several trips to the consumer outlets as opposed to a single trip, as to not raise any flags nor ring any bells.

Haha Awesome! you just reminded of a story my dad told me about the 80s of a stupid bad blizzard. Well that was it then.

yep that was it.

Description China's National Meteorological Center(NMC) on Saturday kept its blue alert for the severe cold wave that is sweaping many northern China regions. The observatory said temperature drop will continue to decline from the weekend to Monday after many parts of China had started to experience the lowest temperatures this winter. Most parts of China, except the central and southwestern regions, will see temperature fall by 6 to 8 degrees Celsius in the next three days, with some parts of north and northeast China to witness a drop of 10 to 14 degrees Celsius, according to the NMC. On Saturday morning, temperatures in parts of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet, Gansu, Shanxi, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Fujian and Guangxi dropped by 6 to 10 degrees Celsius from a day ago, and by 12 to 16 degrees Celsius in parts of Liaoning and Jilin. China's meteorological disaster alerts are categorized as blue, yellow, orange and red as the severity of disasters ascends. The NMC also forecasted small to moderate snow for parts of Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Hebei while heavy snow for Shandong Province on Saturday. Parts of south China and Guizhou Province will see sleet, while freezing rain will fall on west and central Guizhou. [link to hisz.rsoe.hu]

A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) is an event where the polar vortex of westerly winds in the winter hemisphere abruptly (i.e. over the course of a few days) slows down or even reverses direction, accompanied by a rise of stratospheric temperature by several tens of kelvins. This is considered to be the most dramatic meteorological event in the stratosphere. [edit] History

The first continuous measurements of the stratosphere were taken by Richard Scherhag in 1951. He used radiosondes to take reliable temperature readings in the upper stratosphere (~40 km). It was his persistence which led him to witness the first ever observed stratospheric warming on 27 January 1952. After his discovery, Scherhag created a team of meteorologists specifically to study the stratosphere at his university - the Free University of Berlin. This group continued to map the northern-hemisphere stratospheric temperature and geopotential height for many years using radiosondes and rocketsondes. In 1979 when the satellite era began, meteorological measurements became far more frequent. Although satellites were primarily used for the troposphere they also recorded data for the stratosphere. Today both satellites and stratospheric radiosondes are used to take measurements of the stratosphere. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

My friends the polar vortex collapse is predicted to the first 10 days of January.. anyone can tell what can happen with this big event? Thank you so much!

stormy Cumulonimbus Mensagens: 4,166 There for the first 8-10 days of January the models are in agreement with an episode of disintegration of the polar vortex, inducing an AO - it is possible that in January, especially after the first week, one month is very active and variable, with several episodes of various types of weather.

That sounds normal to me. What is the problem? January is a cold month with storms, I do not see the doom.

Luis how sure are you about this? I'm tired of Reading the boy who cried wolf. Everrytime somebody predicts Something like that it never happens. However , I should have you know that I recently dreampt of a coming ice age. interesting is it not ? Do you think my dream of seeig glaciers sliding down might have anything to do with what you're talking about ? Further more I saw Ice sheets covering everything. We were still alive.

In the defense of Luis

I've never heard him predict anything

he relays sources of info and gives his input based on the facts at hand. He's pretty cool headed and tries to give analytical thoughts that are scientifically evidential in nature. Sometimes his information is based off Theorems. But the theories present do have a factual chance of having validity

In December of 1983 I had just moved to Iowa from California. Mid month the temperature plummeted and it was like living in hell. The HIGH temps daily were -5 F. The lows nightly were -40 F. It never got above zero fahrenheit. There were also 50 mile per hour winds for most of the time. This went on for a month. During that time we also got ten feet of snow. Cars wouldn't start, people left their cars running in the parking lots when they went shopping in the grocery stores.

There was no place to put all the plowed snow, people had snow tunnels, parking lots were used as dumping grounds for snow removal.

One old lady died on her porch because someone dropped her off and didn't wait to see that she got in. She was found frozen on the porch with her house keys in her hand.

Luisport; what are the first signs in weather we should keep our ayes on`? And what kind of temp are we talking about IF this occure for Sweden? I live in northern Sweden, and i can tell winter came strange this tme, its like it started from south to north, all mayor storms are coming to southern Sweden. Also really cold over here all country. Northern Sweden is going to have -39c allready...this kind of cold usually comes mid january.

I have added various snow weather gear to my inventory. Flames, wood, petrol and boxes of freeze dried necessities for the big freeze. A couple of boxes of bourbon and other spirits. These can also be good for trading purposes.

Polar Vortex Collapse, Arctic Freeze Imminent By Andrew at 9:24 AM The model forecasts above both show big high pressure centers interrupting the polar vortex and splitting it into two pieces. Such a split exemplifies the traditional weakening of the polar vortex. When that polar vortex is weakened, the cold air locked up in said polar vortex flows south, possibly into North America, maybe into the US. This is a very good sign coming from the models at this point in time to go along with the stratospheric observations.

Continuing with watching the models, we turn to a charted forecast of the ECMWF model. I want you to look at the bottom image, called the EP Flux. In short, the EP flux shows the direction and strength (shown by length of arrow) that air moves into the stratosphere. In events where warm air enters the stratosphere, long, extended arrows are commonly seen. The forecast into the days before New Year's Day show a batch of extended arrow motions, suggesting a large motion of warming may be incoming into the stratosphere. This enhanced EP Flux would theoretically enhance warming potentials in the Arctic, thus further weakening the Polar Vortex. I find it likely that the aforementioned 50mb wave over East Asia would be to blame for this rise in EP Flux values.... [link to theweathercentre.blogspot.de]

DANG ...Luis...I should never of smoked so much gRASS..IN THE 70'S...U sir are a scientist!

“Global warming on Neptune's moon Triton as well as Jupiter and Pluto, and now Mars has some [scientists] scratching their heads over what could possibly be in common with the warming of all these planets … Could there be something in common with all the planets in our solar system that might cause them all to warm at the same time?”

they might also scratch their dicks, perhaps more brains are down there
